@brhodes Winning is the goal.

Efficacy leading a team to a championship is different

Brunson led with poise: created a winning, resilient culture & maintained equilibrium even under extreme duress

Harden/Wemby/Mitchell bigger, stronger, more skilled & collapsed under pressure

@leadlagreport You ok?

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@jrichardgoodman Nice. Woulda been strange to see Steph coached by someone else. I kinda doubt SC would have endorsed another choice. Obviously he is not owner or front office, but probably the NBA player with the most (quiet) power and biggest box office draw

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@jrichardgoodman NBA is sport < entertainment product. Owners openly violate sal cap. Refs, coaches and players embroiled in betting scandals. Making money is the point

Dray and Charles are good at raking (in money) for being great entertainers. Love/hate them both so much (as i am supposed to).

@jrichardgoodman JK helped win the game. Has playoff grit. His defense last night was ++ and the opportunities he took on offense were in the flow of the game. Crisp decisions. Identifying advantages and exploiting them decisively. Smart play. Very Jimmy Butler in style. Nice to see him flourish

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@JoeVirayNBA A defensive genius

@xpmorgan @TheWarriorsTalk They are over the soft cap for 2026-27 but under the first and second luxury tax aprons. This gives them the ability to use exceptions (mid level, injured player, etc) and to deploy more flexible trade options

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@xpmorgan @TheWarriorsTalk They will not renew Porzingis past the end of the season once his contract expires. Had Kuminga stayed there was a second year to pay

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@jrichardgoodman I wonder who their saving up for. Maybe just opening cap to pay Draymond.

They are also employing Seth Curry who seems to have been injured for the entirety of this stint at GSW

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@jrichardgoodman The athletic wrote a long article about Porzingis’s medical condition long in advance of the trade. It was a well known quantity

This was an expiring contract cash dump for GSW

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@darinbunch Season is over already. Next season is the focus and Draymond is valuable with a healthy Steph Curry. Dudes a champion and has an all NBA IQ.

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@jrichardgoodman Good question. The league tv ratings will drop without Steph

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@SpencerHakimian No. You trust Bloomberg’s handling of financial data. That trust issues from B’s domain expertise & stewardship

You do not trust Claude because it does not know anything or have domain expertise. It doesn’t learn from its mistakes or think to check whether data has integrity

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@JoeVirayNBA Kerr is a great coach. No surprise. GSW team executed well. Denver has a poor defense without Aaron Gordon

[Mark Gallay @atswim]

@jrichardgoodman Agree
